Dec 2, 2013

(PRESS RELEASE) -- LAS VEGAS - The Las Vegas-based World Series of
Fighting promotion continues to add depth to its roster with the
addition of proven veterans "Razor" Razak
Al-Hassan (12-4) and Luis
Palomino (21-9), as well as top prospect Kelvin
Tiller (6-0).

All three fighters have signed exclusive, multi-fight deals with
World Series of Fighting and are expected to debut for the
promotion in 2014.

"We're gearing up for an incredible 2014 by continuing to add
quality fighters to all of our divisions," World Series of Fighting
President Ray
Sefo said. "Razak and Luis have both proven themselves to be
very exciting, durable fighters capable of testing anyone in their
weight class, and Kelvin looks to be a very bright talent with a
great future ahead. I look forward to seeing all three of them in
the decagon."

The 31-year-old Al-Hassan currently trains at Wisconsin's Red
Schafer MMA. A black belt in tae kwon do, Al-Hassan was born in the
United States to Ghanaian immigrants. He made his professional MMA
debut in 2007 and previously fought twice for the UFC. Eleven of
his 12 professional wins have come by knockout or submission, and
earlier this year he earned the Aggression Fighting Championship
light heavyweight title with a first-round submission win over
Tim
Chemelli.

The 33-year-old Palomino was born in Peru but now resides in Miami.
A black belt in both capoeira and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Palomino is
a force on the feet and the floor. A former Championship Fighting
Alliance featherweight champion, Palomino recently moved up to
lightweight and fell just short in a bid for the promotion's
lightweight title. Palomino also fought five times for Bellator
MMA, including a slot on the promotion's very first show.

Tiller is an undefeated prospect from Kansas who is unbeaten in his
first six fights since turning pro in 2011. Just 23 years old, the
middleweight appears to have a bright future, with five of his six
career wins coming by of finish, including four submission
wins.

Series of Fighting 7: Karakhanyan vs. Palmer" on Dec. 7 at the PNE
